Today, I’m going to tell you a little story. A story about my mad infatuation with a magical substance called Thread Heaven (affiliate link), a thread and embroidery floss conditioner that is solely responsible for saving both my hands and my sanity.

This story begins with a book. More specifically, the cross-stitch book that I’m currently writing, and the resulting mountain of sewing that such a book necessitates. It’s fun work, but it’s still a bit tough on the hands, especially after a long day of solid stitching. Luckily, I’ve recently discovered a marvelous little blue box—no, not the TARDIS—and it has been nothing short life-changing.

When Jenny from Sublime Stitching sent me the new Sublime Floss™ collection this fall, I was beyond excited. When I opened the package and saw the rich, beautiful colors, visions of elaborate projects and pretty borders began immediately to dance through my head. Then life, the holidays, and multiple craft conferences happened, and suddenly it was February. (Strange how these things happen, right?) Luckily, neither embroidery nor Sublime Floss™ seem to be going away anytime soon!

As someone whose work includes a whole lot of embroidery, cross-stitching, and appliqué, I knew that I wanted to write about Sublime Floss™, but I wanted to make sure that I had a few solid projects under my belt first. So, to really get a feel for the product, I spent the last few weeks substituting Sublime Floss™ for my usual DMC in all of my stitching projects. The results: I think I’m in love.
